The effect of cooperator recognition on competition among clones in spatially structured microbial communities.
In spatially structured microbial communities, clonal growth of stationary cells passively generates clusters of related individuals. This can lead to stable cooperation without the need for recognition mechanisms. However, recent research suggests that some biofilm-forming microbes may have mechani...
